Effect of potassium silicate and electrical conductivity in reducing powdery mildew of hydroponically grown tomato

The effect of silicon on powdery mildew, caused by Oidium neolycopersici, was evaluated in five trials using two cultivars of tomato, ‘Ikram’ or ‘Cuore di bue’, grown in hydroponic systems. Silicon, as potassium silicate, was added at 100 mg L-1 of nutrient solution at three levels of electrical co...
